Hi there,

I’ve got two maps, which are in bitmap format (no vectors now). They’re in different scales and they’re warped a little bit.

I’m using Adobe Illustrator CS2, Photoshop CS2, CorelDraw X3 and PhotoPaint X3 (yeah, student editions!).
I’ve overlaid both pictures, but rezising and pulling don’t work.

I need something like a grid with warping. PhotoPaint X3 has a function like this, but it only works as effect. I can’t see the other image then 🙁

The normal lens-warping in Photoshop is also useless, I think. Is there a workaround or a function, which I don’t know?

Best regards,
Tobias

Have you tried reducing the opacity of the top layer to allow you to see the underlying layer?
Are you using Edit>Transform to warp or skew your image?

yes, but not the result I need.

I need to warp INSIDE the image and not the edges 🙁

Liquify?

Is this an effect in CS2? I’m using the German version. Perhaps that’s why I didn’t find it now 🙂

Tobias,

Have a look in Filters>Liquify (whatever that translates to) and check out pucker and bloat, again, whatever this translates to.
